Promises in the flickering light
Love beyond all reason
A precious jewel out of sight
You told me you were leaving
Come meet me by the Sacre Coeur
Romantic fools that we were
I'd be a fool again for sure
If I could change the ending

I trusted you and heaven too
The moon, the stars, and all that's true
And you, you never understood
Something sacred then got lost for good
Chained and tortured by the past
The holy rose you failed to grasp
Blinded by the smoke and dust
You drank from that poison cup

And every ache tormented me
And all that useless beauty
You traded for another life
As if life was not finite
And you didn't care to lose me

That was the year before the star-man died
That was the year that should've been for you and I
But all the stars fell from the sky
And Paris burned to cinders

Lovers back in days of old
Died for love or so I'm told
But I woke each day without respite
To face another morning
And my miracle she grew inside
Until she slipped away one night
To be born into a different life
Where joy was still in season

I saw her walking in the park
She smiled, I smiled, it broke my heart
Life can catch us unawares
With the answer to a thousand
Prayers I never knew I'd prayed
Just to have them ripped away
A secret grief, a stolen start
Has to be the hardest part
When no one knows the reason

That was the year before the star-man died
That was the year that should've been for you and I
But all the stars fell from the sky
And Paris burned to cinders

Sacred evening, candles, choir
Cold cathedral, raging fire
Timbers tumble, rafters burn
History melts and millions mourn
People weep, before their eyes
The steeple's falling from the sky
The jewel at the heart of the city of light
Reduced to ashes overnight
I know how that feels
I know how that feels

'Cos every ache tormented me
And all that useless beauty
You traded for another life
As if life was not finite
And you didn't care to lose me

That was the year before the star-man died
That was the year that destiny had sanctified
But all the stars fell from the sky
And Paris burned to cinders

Lovers walk along the Seine
The landscape here's forever changed
As crows fly through the stained-glass frame
I see the ghost of Magdalene
A love lock and two hearts aflame
And Paris burned to cinders
